Caltag Medsystems offer umbilical cord stem cells, mononuclear cells and B and T cells. These products are available in fresh and frozen formats and are available from mixed cords or single cord donors from several suppliers. Custom isolations are also available, contact us for more information.

With the rising interest in inflammasomes and their role in the innate immune system, I would like to share with you the key inflammasome research antibodies we have to offer. Further information can be found in our brochure and poster. To request your complimentary copy please Click here.

CAR T-cell therapy is a type of immunotherapy called adoptive cell therapy: collecting and using your body's own immune cells to treat cancer. Using this approach, the T-cells are taken from the patient’s body and then genetically engineered to express a chimeric receptor (CAR) which recognizes a specific tumor-associated antigen. As a result, the CAR-expressing T cells, when reintroduced into the patient's system, will target and eliminate that specific tumor antigen expressing cells. BioVision offers an extensive collection of recombinant proteins to support CAR-T therapy research, including:

Your work is important. Trust CELLvo™. The CELLvo™ Matrix is the only substrate available that closely mimics the full physical, structural, and biochemical microenvironment found in the human body. Together with our CELLvo™ Cells, cell culture artifacts are eliminated allowing the cells to respond to YOU.

TransFix was designed to stabilise TBNK markers for up to 14 days for flow cytometry, however researchers around the world have published work indicating TransFix has been used to stabilise over 100 different celluar markers.

I would like to make you aware of the hepatocyte cell line; HepaRG. HepaRG cells have the unique properties of maintaining hepatocyte functions and are also able to carry out the complete replicative cycle of the Hepatitis B Virus, meaning they can be used in toxicology studies as an alternative to fresh hepatocytes.

Interest in minimal residual disease (MRD) assessment in multiple myeloma (MM) has increased due to the high quality of responses achieved with novel agents and to the development of reliable techniques to evaluate MRD through flow cytometry.

Glycolysis was one of the first metabolic pathways studied and is one of the best understood. Because this pathway is intrinsic in almost all cell types, the metabolites and enzymes in this pathway can be relevant to cancer research, cell signalling and carbohydrate metabolism research, enzymatic reactions and the study of the study of the Glyoxalase system.

Identity and traceability of cell culture media components is crucial for long-term success during the all-important transition from basic research to clinical. Our Prime medium supplied by CELLnTEC is:

•Chemically defined (completely traceable and clinically upgradable)

•Xeno- and animal component-free

These benefits allow progression into clinical research without the need to re-evaluate and identify the components of the media. CELLnTEC’s media is suitable for: Epithelial, Endothelial, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Melanocytes and Fibroblasts. It is designed to be used across the whole cell culture workflow including: Isolation, Proliferation, Homeostasis and Cryopreservation.

ScienCell Research Laboratories offers a full complement high-quality cell culture reagents. We also have a wide variety of cell transfection reagents, as well as any extracellular matrix your cells demand. Whether you require USDA-certified fetal bovine serum, Trypsin/EDTA, or an enzyme-free dissociation solution for your experiments, we can provide fully-tested and guaranteed components that will allow your cells to reach their maximum potential.

For customers looking to perform large scale CD34+ cell isolations, we recommend Mobilised LeukoPaks. Mobilisation involves a series of injections of G-CSF or one injection of Mozobil to the donor, this allows the donors to secrete the rich lymphocyte cell populations found in the bone marrow into the blood stream. A Leukapheresis collection is then performed. Donors can perform a maximum of two mobilisations in their lifetime, with a one year period in between. Only full packs are available for mobilised LeukoPaks.

The GFP V2a Kit™ - Vasculogenesis to Angiogenesis, is a validated, in vitro, human primary cell co-culture model of angiogenesis that allows the dynamic measurement of all phases of the angiogenic process.

Without stabilization, flow cytometric analysis of clinical blood samples must be performed within 48 hours of venipuncture, as apoptosis and proteolytic degradation of cellular markers will detrimentally affect the immunophenotypic profile.

Caltag Medsystems can offer both fresh and frozen mobilized and non-mobilized LeukoPak’s from healthy donors as well as LeukoPaks from donors with hematological cancers. Fresh normal healthy LeukoPaks are available in different sizes and with flexible collection options. We recommend fresh mobilised LeukoPaks for customers wishing to perform large scale CD34+ cell isolations. Frozen LeukoPaks are for ideal for customers requiring flexibility in when and where the product will be used. Let us help you - we are available to discuss your requirements, providing you with the most suitable options for your experiments.

Proliferation and viability assays are crucial for cell growth and differentiation studies. The assessment of compound cytotoxicity is a critical step in pharmaceutical development and used to evaluate both compound toxicity and inhibition of tumor cell growth during drug discovery.
